Plot[]
Larrity discovers that his credit card is declined after trying to buy a golden roller coaster. He talks to Black Steve and learns that GameAVision is losing money from the lack of quality games sold. More importantly, the Lettuce Patch Dolls Todd usually buys have increased in popularity and demand. With a new series releasing that day, he rallies the staff to destroy the merchandise. Mary refuses, but relents when Larrity threatens to restock the women's bathroom with "Mexican Tampons".
Their attack at a nearby toy store ends in disaster, proving to be no match against crazy children or parents. Larrity decides to fight fire with fire when Mary suggests making their own toy to rival the LPDs, an animatronic teddy bear to be exact. He outsources (key: abducts) a young Dave Jaffe and Scott Campbell to build Teddy Ticklebum, an automated multipurpose teddy bear that is both huggable and helpful for other chores. To the programmers' chagrin, he also takes half their paycheck and gives them to the kids.
Todd, meanwhile, misses out on almost the entire LPD set despite sleeping near the entrance for days, if not weeks, but makes due with one named Crystal Boulevard, treating her like a trailer trash-style girlfriend. Returning to his office, he finds his other LPD, Tiffany, becoming suspicious of Todd's behavior, realizing that she has been cheated on. In his mind, Todd has begun imagining that he is cheating on his old girlfriend with his new one.
Not happy about losing their pay to children, Dave and the others plot to sabotage Ticklebum. They sneak into the kids' office and Dave hacks the toy with a code from a violent video game, then urinates all over the bear just... because. Mary begins to suspect their plan will end badly, which it does when Ticklebum wreaks havoc and kills anyone he sees, including Jaffe and Campbell. When Larrity catches wind of this, he decides to put him down with his four-barrel shotgun, but it proves ineffective against the haywire bear. He then hires a group of bounty hunters, but they are ejected from his car because they neglected to put on seat belts.
Todd's relationship with Tiffany and Crystal takes a turn for the worse, to the point where Tiffany "calls" two welfare workers from the Lettuce Patch organization. They spot a closet full of Todd's dolls and treats it as domestic abuse, preparing to recall every doll. Ticklebum arrives and treats the couple as strangers, blowing them up before taking Tiffany as a hostage. Todd takes Crystal and chases after Ticklebum, with Dave and Jerry following just to see the chaos.
Fed up with Crystal's attitude after she tries to convince him to dump Tiffany, he sacrifices her for his old LPD, leaving Teddy to cut Crystal in half. Before Ticklebum attacks them, a mysterious bounty hunter arrives and vaporizes the bear once and for all. Larrity arrives to thank him, who is revealed to be a her: Mary. She complains how her original idea has devolved into this.
However, Dave throws all of the blame on Mary since she initially suggested the idea, and Larrity docks her pay as a result.
